New Torchwood 10-second teaser

The title says it all - there's a new teaser for season 3 of Torchwood, it's only 10 seconds, but is worth a look if you're waiting for any snippets. It's on the BBC website here, and is probably UK only, I'm afraid (but these things usually pop up elsewhere soon after). Update: It's now on YouTube. I can't link to it for legal reasons, but it's easy enough to find...

I see nothing, but have already caught trailers for TW on one of the myriad of channels over here. Can't remember which one (don't know which one I'm watching most of the time..)and didn't recognise the action so don't know which series they're promoting. Sigh. I'm a useless sack of shit, aren't I?

Hope you won't mind a question, since you've written for Torchwood (and no, it's not 'When is it going to air?!?').

In series 1, Jack seemed to have a Kiss of Life (hereafter referred to as KoL) in a few episodes ("Day One", "Cyberwoman"), but in series 2, there was no sign that he did.

I was wondering if, in any information you were given about Captain Jack and the show, there was any mention of his seeming KoL? Like, for instance, does he have one? In what circumstances would it work, if so (ie., no unnecessary holes in the body of whoever he's kissing)?

Thanks for any enlightenment on this subject.

I'm looking forward to see the big event, whenever it is, and congratulations for writing one of this year's episodes as well as last year.

Anna: We weren't given any info about it, but I don't think it ever existed. From what I understood (as a viewer at the time) it was essentially a Jack version of CPR. The (spoilercharacter) had been hit hard, and was technically dead, although not severely damaged- if they'd left him, he'd have stayed dead, but Jack managed to get his heart and breathing going again. Just like in other shows, where they have people giving mouth to mouth and banging on the chest - it's the same thing. Jack was able to do it without the chest compression etc, because he's got the whole immortal thing going on and is a bit special... At least, that's what I thought, anyway. Haven't rewatched that one since, so I could be wrong.
